Chapter Seven
iGet Hurt
"I don't like him," Colin says breaking the on going silence that lingered in the air since we left the house.
"Colin that's my friend I'm trying to mend a broken relationship with him." I say trying to soften his mood.
"Relationship? Carly we are in a relationship you and I not that idiot."
"Colin stop it," I yell. He looks over at me as if I'm a stupid kid.
"Don't you ever yell at me again," he says grabbing my wrist and slamming it down on a slightly sharp part on the car. He doesn't hesitate to stop he take my fingers and crush them on the metal part of his seat. His grip is very tight he just keeps squeezing harder and harder. My fingers start to turn a shade of purple and tears start falling own my face.
"Colin please," is all I can say he glares at me then let's go of his hold on my wrist.
"Don't do it again," he says sharply then pulls into the parking lot for the news station.
I look down at my bruised wrist it throbbed with pain. I have never seen Colin do something so cruel and abusive. I get out the car and I don't wait for Colin. I walk inside the station. Carol the receptionist greets me she smiles and says hello. I try to hide my bruised wrist but Stacey the intern who helps everyone and keeps the peace notices.
"Carly hi nice to see you," she shakes my hand and I wince. Then she looks at my face and sees the dried tears, then looks at my bruised wrist.
"Oh my god! Carly what happened?"
"I um,"I couldn't tell her the truth or else Colin would bang me up a lot more. "I smashed my hand I the car door," I lie while staring at Colin as he strides into the door.
"It looks really bad I think we should get some ice for you."
"Thank you," I say then she smiles and walks off. My purple wrist is swollen, I try to pick something up, but it hurts to move it. Did he break my wrist? Stacey comes back with the ice and I try to stop the pain.
"Were going live in 5, 4, 3,"then he lips the rest. Just like Freddie used to do in iCarly. We take our seats and start the morning news.
"What did you tell that dumb girl about your wrist?" Colin demands when we reach he car.
"I told her I smashed it in the door, I need to see a doctor."
"Why?"
"Because you may have broken it or sprained it, and then if we ignore it you could be in a lot of trouble."
"Fine," he says then we head for the hospital where our doctor is located.
I step into the hospital and smell the disinfectant quickly. My heels squeak across the shiny white tiles. I walk until I reach Dr. Moore's office. Colin is far behind me, we seem to be keeping a far distance from one another.
"I'm here to see Dr. Moore," I say to the receptionist through the plexi-glassed window. She dials his four-digit extension and tells him that I'm outside waiting.
"Sign in and go right on in," she says smiling for an instant only to get back to her paperwork. I sign in and open the cedar wood door into the hall then walk down to room number 4 where he has asked to see us.
"Carly, how are you doing?" the mid fifties grayed man asks me as I enter his working quarters.
"I'm great uncle Thomas," Any normal doctor wouldn't see us but he is Colin's uncle. A surprise because they are very different.
"How is my baby girl," he refers to Natalie as because it makes her laugh.
"She's great," I say frowning.
"Carly what's wrong," he takes hold of my hand. I wince as the pain surges back through my body.
"Who did this to you?" he asks
"He um,"I start but don't finish. Tears roll down my face slowly.
"I'm sorry," he says understanding.
"Uncle Thomas Carly here smashed her hand in the door being a total klutz." Colin says chuckling as he walks into the office.
"Left me take a look at it, mind going into the waiting room?" He asks Colin as I sit upon the papered leather bench.
"Sure I have some work to do anyway," he lifts up his blackberry then heads out the door.
"Now Carly tell me what happened?" he says taking hold of my uninjured hand and placing his chubby fingers on the small of my back.
"Well we had just left for work and I," my voice croaked I couldn't get my words out. I felt my phone buzz, a text from Colin.
You think I'm stupid enough to believe he asked me to leave just so he could check your wrist. I'm not stupid you had better keep your mouth shut or else.
